Description

This Astrobin Debut Object is an irregular galaxy located 25 million light years away in the constellation of Aries at a declination of +25 degrees.  It is a magnitude 12 galaxy which spans 3.4 arc-minutes in our apparent view.  This corresponds to a diameter of 25,000 light years.

Star clouds are visible throughout but I do not see a bar or any spiral structure.
